The Bookmark Editor

You edit your bookmarks to:

To do that, you launch hlg to open your bookmark file by typing:

or simply pass its short option, hlg -e

The bookmark file that will be opened belongs to the one set as your default category.

To edit bookmarks for another category other than the default category, you have to also pass in the category name like this:

or its short option:

Both are ways to tell hlg that you want to edit bookmarks for another category called "electronics" other than the default category.

Throughout this guide, we will be using "electronics" as an example of another category which isn’t the default category. In this case, that other category is called "electronics" in the examples provided.

Regardless of whether you are editing bookmarks for the default category or another category, hlg will simply bring up your default editor.

Just make changes by adding, removing or adjusting some bookmarks and save the file.

This page shows how to add, modify and delete an individual bookmark in detail.

Other than just adding, removing or updating bookmark entries, you can also add, delete or update a bookmark’s shortcut keys and metadata, a subject we are to discuss in the next pages.
